commit 091bb549f7722723b284f63ac665e2aedcf9dec9 upstream.
This option is not supported by lld:
ld.lld: error: unknown argument: -p
This has been a no-op in binutils since 2004 (see commit dea514f51da1 in
that tree). Given that the lowest officially supported of binutils for
the kernel is 2.20, which was released in 2009, nobody needs this flag
around so just remove it. Commit 1a381d4a0a9a ("arm64: remove no-op -p
linker flag") did the same for arm64.

commit b30d0289de72c62516df03fdad8d53f552c69839 upstream.
The merge_fdt_bootargs() function by definition consumes more than 1024
bytes of stack because it has a 1024 byte command line on the stack,
meaning that we always get a warning when building this file:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c: In function 'merge_fdt_bootargs':
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:98:1: warning: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
However, as this is the decompressor and we know that it has a very shallow
call chain, and we do not actually risk overflowing the kernel stack
at runtime here.
This just shuts up the warning by disabling the warning flag for this
file.
Tested on Nexus 7 2012 builds.

SH-Mobile platforms are transitioning from non-multiplatform to
multiplatform kernel. A new ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI configuration symbol has
been created to group all multiplatform-enabled SH-Mobile SoCs. The
existing ARCH_SHMOBILE configuration symbol groups SoCs that haven't
been converted yet.
This arrangement works fine for the arch/ code, but lots of drivers
needed on both ARCH_SHMOBILE and ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI depend on
ARCH_SHMOBILE only. In order to avoid changing them, rename
ARCH_SHMOBILE to ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY, and create a new boolean
ARCH_SHMOBILE configuration symbol that is selected by both
ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY and ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI.

The Shark machine sub-architecture (also known as DNARD, the
DIGITAL Network Appliance Reference Design) lacks a maintainer
able to apply and test patches to modernize the architecture.
It is suspected that the current kernel, while it compiles,
does not even boot on this machine. The listed maintainer has
expressed that he will not be able to spend any time on the
maintenance for the coming year.
So let's delete it from the kernel for now. It can always be
resurrected with git revert if maintenance is resumed.
As the VIA82c505 PCI adapter was only used by this
architecture, that gets deleted too.

9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font

Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to

In August 2012, Matthew Gretton-Dann checked a change into binutils
labelled "Error on obsolete & warn on deprecated registers", apparently as
part of ARMv8 support. Apparently, this was supposed to emit the message
"Warning: This coprocessor register access is deprecated in ARMv8" when
using certain mcr/mrc instructions and building for ARMv8. Unfortunately,
the message that is actually emitted appears to be '(null)', which is
less helpful in comparison.
Even more unfortunately, this is biting us on every single kernel
build with a new gas, because arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S and some
other files in that directory are built with -march=all since kernel
commit 80cec14a8 "[ARM] Add -march=all to assembly file build in
arch/arm/boot/compressed" back in v2.6.28.
This patch reverts Russell's nice solution and instead marks the head.S
file to be built for armv7-a, which fortunately lets us build all
instructions in that file without warnings even on the broken binutils.
Without this patch, building anything results in:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S: Assembler messages:

Instead of giving zero support of uncompress debug for multiplatform
build, the patch turns uncompress debug into one part of DEBUG_LL
support. When DEBUG_LL is turned on for a particular platform,
uncompress debug works too for that platform.
OMAP and Tegra are exceptions here. OMAP low-level debug code places
data in the .data section, and that is not allowed in decompressor.
And Tegra code has reference to variable that's unavailable in
decompressor but only in kernel. That's why Kconfig symbol
DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS controlling multiplatform uncompress debug support is
defined with !DEBUG_OMAP2PLUS_UART && !DEBUG_TEGRA_UART.
It creates arch/arm/boot/compressed/debug.S with CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE
included there, implements a generic putc() using those macros, which
will be built when DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS is defined.

decompressor
Before jumping to (position independent) C-code from the decompressor's
assembler world we set-up the C environment. This setup currently does not
set r9, which for arm-none-uclinux-uclibceabi toolchains is by default
expected to be the PIC offset base register (IE should point to the
beginning of the GOT).
Currently, therefore, in order to build working kernels that use the
decompressor it is necessary to use an arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain, or
similar. uClinux toolchains cause a prefetch abort to occur at the beginning
of the decompress_kernel function.
This patch allows uClinux toolchains to build bootable zImages by forcing
the -mno-single-pic-base option, which ensures that the location of the GOT
is re-derived each time it is required, and r9 becomes free for use as a
general purpose register.
This has a small (4% in instruction terms) advantage over the alternative of
setting r9 to point to the GOT before calling into the C-world.

Pull ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson:
"This contains the bulk of new SoC development for this merge window.
Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x
SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new
series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can
keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach
directory. The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian
Daudt.
Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware,
ECX-2000.
clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's
also taken on maintainership of the platform.
Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on
converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take
advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage. Running this
in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be
supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp
mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel.
This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the
PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches
are off in both, as required by the boot protocol. The zImage
decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and
entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards
associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one,
yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled
kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those
ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage.
Currently the following ATAGs are converted:
ATAG_CMDLINE
ATAG_MEM
ATAG_INITRD2
If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it
is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it.
The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon
entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at
finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made.
Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.

may be larger than the relocated code and data, and then the DTB gets
overwritten. Let's make sure the relocation takes care of moving zImage
far enough so no such conflict with .bss occurs.
Thanks to Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> for figuring out this issue.
While at it, let's clean up the code a bit so that the wont_overwrite
symbol is used while determining if a conflict exists, making the above
change more precise as well as eliminating some ARM/THUMB alternates.

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to eSD and for SuperH Mobile
ARM to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block.
This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion of the image into
MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final
location and then jumping to it.

To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from
the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are
used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can
be marked static unless they're also const.
To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol
is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience.
The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into
non exported symbols to remove false positives.

In commit d239b1dc093d the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed
kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to
the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the
size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data.
For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build
system already takes care of appending it using size_append in
scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so
instructions like STRD and LDRD can be used. Without this, mysterious
boot failures were seen semi randomly with the LZMA decompressor.
While at it, let's align .bss as well.

expanded variable
The simply expanded variable may be evaluated before the target file for
the stat command is up to date or even exists. Switching to a recursively
expanded variable move the execution of the stat command to the location
where LDFLAGS_vmlinux is actually used, fixing the dependency issue
introduced by patch #6746/1.

We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size
in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with
the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues
by overestimating the final kernel image size:
- This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was
fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time.
- The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the
initrd image in RAM.
- If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image
then the problem is even more exacerbated.
And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite
ourselves with the decompressed image.
So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that
we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build
dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands
to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.

This adds support for the family of Systems-on-Chip produced initially
by VIA and now its subsidiary WonderMedia that have recently become
widespread in lower-end Chinese ARM-based tablets and netbooks.
Support is included for both VT8500 and WM8505, selectable by a
configuration switch at kernel build time.
Included are basic machine initialization files, register and
interrupt definitions, support for the on-chip interrupt controller,
high-precision OS timer, GPIO lines, necessary macros for early debug,
pulse-width-modulated outputs control, as well as platform device
configurations for the specific drivers implemented elsewhere.

Russell, please consider merging this for 2.6.38.
This patch depends on:
* "mmc, sh: Move MMCIF_PROGRESS_* into sh_mmcif.h"
which will be merged though Paul Mundt's rmobile sh-2.6.
The absence of this patch will break the build if
the (new) CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF option is set.
There are no subtle side-effects.
v2:
Addressed comments by Magnus Damm
* Fix copyright in vrl4.c
* Fix use of #define CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF in mmcif-sh7372.c
* Initialise LED GPIO lines in head-ap4evb.txt instead of mmcif-sh7372.c
as this is considered board-specific.
v3:
Addressed comments made in person by Magnus Damm
* Move mmcif_loader to be earlier in the image and
reduce the number of blocks of boot program loaded by the MaskRom
from 40 to 8 accordingly.
* Move LED GPIO initialisation into mmcif_progress_init
- This leaves the partner jet script unbloated
Other
* inline mmcif_update_progress so it is a static inline in a header file
v4:
* Use htole16() and htole32() in v4rl.c to ensure
that the output is little endian
v5:
Addressed comments by Russell King
* Simplify assembly code
* Jump to code rather than an address <- bug fix
* Use (void __iomem *) as appropriate
Roll in mackerel support
* This was previously a separate patch, only because of the order
in which this code was developed
